MTLNOVEL Chapter 206: From Scratch.
Sophia, did much, maybe too much, she literally eliminated the biggest threat. Those people selling the information about them, and with that she pretty much slowed down not just the cartel but other enemies too.
But what reward would she be satisfied with?
Well for that the answer was easy because it would be James himself, that was the best reward for her, but that was impossible to give to her.
"Sophia, you did a lot of work. I'm proud of you, so you can ask for something." James said as he looked at her, and in the moment she lit up with, well, a very creepy smile on her face.
"So it is a wish or something like that?" She asked back, staring at him.
Fuck me…
"Yeah, so quickly say it." James said, and he was already regretting it.
"I want to sleep with you." She said it straight, still looking in his eyes, and well, around her everybody just stared at her.
Like what the fuck. Hector even chuckled a bit when he looked at James himself, who was annoyed as fuck because he knew she was going to say something ridiculous.
"That's not pos—"
"No!" She shouted now. "Just to sleep beside you. I meant it that way." She said, a little blushing, still staring into his eyes.
"What?" James asked back. "You want to sleep with me?"
"Yeah, like every day." She said, and behind her smile James knew exactly that if he said yes to it, she was going to be butt naked every single time.
But shit, at least that wasn't something that he would hate… and second, she at least didn't ask for something more outrageous in front of everybody.
"Okay, I'm good with that, but nothing more. You can't cuddle or anything like that."
"Okay!" She raised her voice once again, but by looking at her she didn't even hear the second part of what James said to her.
Meanwhile, the others were just trying to not hear it, even though they were there, they just wanted to forget it as fast as they could like they didn't even hear what they talked about.
"What about the production?" Finn asked, trying to somehow alter the whole conversation, and it was actually a good question.
They needed to make money, that was for sure, even though millions upon millions just landed into their hands by the death of the Circle and Silas, they still needed to make money on their own and moreover to take care of the market, because they all knew these small players will come and start selling their shits.
All the mixed white magic that would kill people, that would not satisfy the need, and if that happened, the news of the market that it has not enough proper supply will go farther than Dennus and the cartel, and if that happened, more and more players will want to come in and join the market.
That would cause more and more war, more death, and suffering.
Yeah, that was the main point now, even the cartel was the second, the first to do something about the market needs.
"We still have the product, aren't we?" James asked as he looked at Hector then to Finn.
"Yes, we have, but the thing is what we have now is only enough for a month and that's it, and if we grab Silas's product or even Marco and Isabella, even if they had literally nothing, it just would make everything more complicated." He said, and Hector immediately joined in.
"They all mixed it, so basically it's worth nothing if we only want to sell pure." He said as he looked at James and tapped his finger against the table. "So what we won is the money, the assets, the properties, but all of their products are literal ass and unusable for us."
Mixing, which means the same money for less white magic… a good way to make a lot of money and have more white magic…
"We're going to give that to the government then, to burn it." James said. "We don't sell mixed. We only sell quality, and our buyers expect that from us. That's why they pay big bucks for it."
They all nodded to it, but still the question was there, what about the production and when will it start?
The market has no provider, and well, they are at war, and if they start the production the cartel easily can attack all of their sites or… they can be sneaky with it.
"The plant of white magic, they don't require anything crazy, do they?"
"Not really, only a lot of water, but we can do it with watering systems." Hector answered to James, and he knew what he was thinking about with that. "But to start the production, we need plants and we need to hide it well, but the thing is the plants are only grow in Dennus."
The problem with it, it came from Dennus, they were working in Dennus, and now it's all fucked up. The cartel is there too, and all of their labs were on the border of Dennus, where they're still fighting the fucking border wars.
So how the fuck to get in plants?
"The ISB has headquarters in Dennus, aren't they?" James asked because he was sure about it, at least that one of the agencies has an office or something like that in Dennus.
"Yeah, one of the agencies has. Why are you… ohh." Hector finally got it as he thought about it, and it was a brilliant plan if it works.
The ISB director is in alliance with them, so it also means he can help smuggle some in the country, maybe a few hundred plants… but that would mean they need to make a deal with Stephen too.
With a deal with him, they can bring in plants with the ISB cover and start the operation in the country, which would also mean they just step on a whole other level.
There is not a single people, family, or gangster, drug dealer who is making white magic in this country from the scartch, so it would mean they would be the first one to start the production from scratch.
